Jon, Tiger, PopTiki, Swizz, Will, Skip, Cy, Badd, Wendy & TikiAno ~ thank you all so much for your kind words, you really know how to make a guy feel loved I had a great time making that skull, I may have to make one for me now

I finally got a display box made for my Headhunter Harbor mugs. Probably could have used 3/4 inch pine instead of 1 1/2 inch fir lumber, it's a bit more substantial than it needs to be. Since I live in earthquake country I need to add a safety wire across the front of the mugs.

Not nosey, it's just that inquiring minds NEED to know Wendy, they are on my back deck. Being impervious to weather and having a very low probability of being stolen, that look like a good place to permanently display them. A quick wash and they will be ready to use.

Thank you guys for your kind comments, so good to see so many of you at OASIS!!!!

I left early from Oasis and have been home for a few hours, trying to get everything put away before work tomorrow morning. Had a chance to visit with so many people, don't want to try listing them for fear of missing someone. But did want to give a special shout-out to the Swap crew who made it - Jon & Janelle, Cy, Wendy, TikiPops, TikiAno, Kinny. So good to meet up with. Jon thank you for the extra cannibal which I was honored to win. TikiAno thank you for the black clay, can't wait to try that out.
Left to right ~ TikiAno, me, Cy, Hang10Tiki, and TikiPops.
Camera shy ~ Little Lost Tiki who could not get away from his vending booth, and Wendy who had to attend the 3pm TikiRush (like the 1889 Oklahoma land rush) when the vending doors opened for the first time I made my exchange with Little Lost Tiki. I was very happy with the "Closer to the Bone" painted carving I got, Kinny said he was happy with his Trophy Skull Mug

Always great to visit with Dan & Wendy, thank you for dinner. Got to catch up with Buzzy and Christina, thank you for the Buzzy pinup poster (I think ) Got to spend some quality time with Nui Umi'umi, Tiki Vato and their wives, thank you for your hospitality and the MaiTai. You are a true gentleman and a gracious host David.

I did a little to support the Oasis and San Diego economies. I'm not a collector so I ate and drank most of my purchases.
A couple of Tshirts, a dried blowfish lamp, a cutting of white ginger root I stole from the hotel garden, some Falernum, a couple of Art Swap exchanges, Buzzy's beefcate poster, and TikiAno's black clay. My brother and I are planning a Greek themed Christmas party for 60 people this year so I used the trip to San Diego to visit a middle eastern market and picked up ouzo, pistachio halva, flaky halva, kataifi (shredded phyllo dough), tahini sauce, and a stainless steel Gyro roaster _________________ATTENTION MEMBERS!
